Now yall remember that!! We're each fighting a daily battle that can be draining and consuming. I just blew up and ruined Christmas this year. While I'm sorry it happened the way it happened, it's been brewing for a LONG time.

I have so much peace now that Christmas is over, the little (21, 20, 17)hoarders got their presents and now won't want anything from us until at least May when the birthdays start rolling around. We probably won't even see the skids between now and then. I'll probably never see the 2 youngest again because I went off on their muther, BM, but hey, now she knows I'm not taking her crap anymore. (I'll never get rid of sd21, she's like my own daughter and thinks of me as mom, and it burns BM up! BM kicked her out when she was a sr in high school, so I took her over on default.)

I have 4 bios, the youngest is ds9 between me and DH. My mother and grandmother depend on me a lot to help them. Between all these people pulling on me for support....I just get FRIED! On top of it all, I'm going to college and getting my 1st bachelors degree at the age of 45.

I'm taking the time for ME this spring to finish my classes and graduate in August 2011. Everyone else can wait in line, it's MY TURN NOW!!!

YAY for us survivors!!! Happy 2011 Everyone! IT'S YOUR TURN TOO!!!
